Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, August 10th, 2013

Still early in the season but a few migrants as well as breeding birds were present. Lots of Indigo Buntings adult male and female and juveniles. We found only one Blue Grosbeak and brief look at a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. The plowed fields had 10-20 Semipalmated Plover as well as a few Killdeer. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Kathy & Roger Horn, and Jesse Amesbury.
